Discovering the realities of college one step at a time.

​Monday, 3/14

I forgot to add this photo from yesterday! Jennifer's parents gave each of us a bouquet of flowers when we arrived home :)

​The morning was pretty mundane. Jennifer and I ran some errands for the family and bought some pastries from the bakery to eat for breakfast. We spend some time lying around the house and helping out.

​In the afternoon, Jennifer drove me around the outskirts of Waukegan. I accompanied her visit back to her high school and met several of her teachers and friends from JROTC, a program for high school students who have strict discipline and are interested in the military regimen.

During the drive, Jennifer stopped by a park (for early voting in the Illinois primaries) and I took several pictures in the meantime :)

​After the long tour of Waukegan, Jennifer took her siblings and I to the movies at the nearby Gurnee Mills mall. All of us watched the recently released Disney movie, Zootopia; it was super heartwarming and filled with child-like humor (which I find hilarious- not sure if that's good or bad). Out of the entire theater, there was only a kid (under 8) in the audience. :D

​Afterwards, we ate dinner at Portillo's, a tourist-y restaurant for Chicago-styled hotdogs. There weren't that many people (because it's Monday) so I was glad :)
